She leaves a granddaughter, Ruth Clark, and a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mary Clark of Brookville, O.; a brother, L. C. Barr of the Stillwater road; a sister, Mrs. James Catterlin, Piqua; a nephew, Charles Barr, and a niece, Mrs. Joseph Wise of Piqua. Because of the illness of the Rev. John Inglis, the Rev. J. H. EIDEMILLER will conduct funeral services at the late residence at three o’clock Tuesday afternoon with burial in Forest Hill Cemetery.  The body was removed to the J. C. Cron Funeral Home and will be taken to the late residence this afternoon where friends may call until time for the funeral.
